That's great news!

For those that aren't regestered.

A big congratulation goes to the team at Mike’s Dyno Tuning. Tim Jetson’s turbocharged EA Falcon ran its first 9-second passes, the best being a 9.96/140 on what is a very basic turbo conversion and engine combination which goes to show persistence pays off.

Another car of interest, John Colaidis' AU motor powered mustang ran a 11.91.

that mustang is horn

it'll go a nine too. I'll bet on it.

Yup that's what he wants from it, it's only a matter of time!

Rollin is next you know...

Here's hoping!

Not in a manual lol.

Doubt it Bret. That car is being built to drift.

by **Rollin** » July 26th, 2007, 11:19 pm

Lol...I very much doubt 500rwhp is enough to do a 9 in a full weight E-series! esp a manual one with no slicks!

I'll prob end up doing the tried and tested PerformanceForums Supra stylez and running mid 12s at 135mph haha.

I think with traction and good gearing 500rwhp could get into the 10s, but I don't think my car ever will. Although it is very tempting to try...

Oops, forgot to say, HOLY CRAP A 9 SECOND PASS OH MY GOD!!!!!! ea ba turbo FTMFWx11tybillion!!!111oneone1!11!

TUFED6 will be next into the 9s I reckon. Single digit 400m times are bloody crazy! Any vids on youtube yet?

Wow that's awesome!

I guess it was only a matter of time.

That's great news! All that effort has paid off!

by **Sunboost** » July 27th, 2007, 9:17 am

That's mad.

It's still running a standard bottom end yeah?

Is it running a standard BW style diff or a 9"??

by **EFFalcon** » July 27th, 2007, 9:22 am

it was only a matter of time!
Congrats to them!

by **XRated** » July 27th, 2007, 11:23 am

Standard bottom end!! :shock:

Freakin' awesome.

What's the quickest VLT at the moment?

by **Sunboost** » July 27th, 2007, 11:31 am

8 seconds AFAIK... I think it's one of the Rajab cars, PANNIC possibly.

The JPC VL calais, 8.54 @ 161MPH

Hahaha, that's pretty awesome though. Did anyone see the feature on it in street fords ( or was it PFM) i dunno, i've got action of it on some DVD.
